WOODEN CHALET ON THE RIVER BANKS is one of the two beautiful Heritage riverside properties (please check out LAZY COTTAGE ON THE RIVER BANKS) true Wooden Chalets situated on the banks of one of Goa's largest River.
The house is centrally located, just 10 minutes to the Panjim Central Bus Stand which is equidistant from North and South Goa. Just a 5 minutes' walk from the house to the Ribandar Town Center (or Patto as it is known in Goa), where you will find available dry provisions, fresh vegetables, meats and fish besides a chemist and a fast food shop. The bus stand is also situated here. All buses end their journey at the Panjim Main bus stand from where you can get all sorts of transports and car and two wheeler hire. The road going Eastwards will take you to the ancient Portuguese Capital city of Goa known as Old Goa which is just 6 Km away. Goa was the only overseas State of Portugal known as "Estado da India" and most of the history lies in this city of Old Goa. This is a location having world famous historical sites and numerous Cathedrals including the Cathedral of Bom Jesu where the body of St. Francis Xavier is preserved and visible to date.
Car and bike rental facilities are also available for which information will be provided.
The Chalet is fitted with all amenities one can think of and what you would normally like to have in your home. Some of the amenities are two fully equipped kitchens, dishwasher, microwave ovens, baking oven, U.V. filter, hot and cold water fountain, clothes washing machine and dryer etc. etc. Besides, the house is fitted with a hydro pneumatic water pressure system giving full pressure on all the water outlets and showers.
There is an in-house NON-PROFIT convenience store where we provide mostly everything you would need from cooking ingredients to variety of beverages, milk etc. etc. It is really convenient and thus the name “CONVENIENCE STORE”. All items at cost price plus 5% to cover losses etc.
We have a SAFE in the convenience store where you can lock up your valuables.
The house Lady Kalpana will come every morning to clean up. She is also an excellent cook as recommended by previous guest. It is important to note that any cooking is totally between the guest and Kalpana and is dependent on her availability as she has her own family. Her nominal charges for the group is Rs. 300 for cooking breakfast and Rs. 500 per other meal. This is for labour charge only and you will have to discuss with her about getting the material.
The house is divided into three levels and has four large bedrooms, each with toilets attached. The main Hall, Kitchen, dining and sitting areas is on the road level. There is a large garage which can accommodate a large vehicle plus 2 or 3 two wheelers. Two bedrooms are located on the first floor above the road level and two bedrooms are located 3 meters below the road level right on the river edge.
The house is designed so that the view of the river, and adjacent islands are prominent from every location in the house. The upper bedrooms have a spacious wooden deck with deck chairs to relax on with full view of the river. The lower bedrooms open onto a paved patio which is on the river edge. It has docking facilities for a reasonably sized yacht.
The upper bedrooms have its own kitchenette fully equipped including a fridge. There is also an ironing board on this deck. The lower bedrooms have fridges in each bedroom. Barbecue equipment including coal at cost price plus 5% is provided so you can enjoy a barbecue on the stone patio. There is good fishing scope however ardent fisherman should bring their own equipment.
We provide the best quality bed linen and bath towels. Night sheets are provided as night cover as it is not too cold. We provide LAUNDERED blankets sealed for your protection at extra charge of Rs. 20 each to cover laundry charges. Cleanliness is our motto.
In the hall there is a full-fledged computer station. There is free unlimited Broad Band Internet and Wi-Fi. We have BSNL (Govt.) connection and we pay monthly for unlimited broadband. Generally, the Broadband has been very satisfactory but we however state that the connection is dependent on BSNL and we have no control on the quality or any breakdowns. We can assure you that we will make all efforts to ensure that in case of breakdown we pursue BSNL to attended earliest.
A music station attached to the computer system allows you to play music from the internet, pen drive or memory card or just connect to your mobile or other portable equipment. Dish T V is installed with all available channels on Tata Sky. We however insist that the guest respect the residential locality and keep the music level to low level.
We have taken great pains to ensure that our guest have the best of comforts and feel at home.
We give out the house to only one group at a time. There is no in house staff and the complete house is to your disposal only.
We are on the mobile connection in case you need a...

The neighbourhood is one of the oldest heritage Town in Goa. It is a family oriented surrounding with small heritage houses in the locality. There are a number of small restaurants nearby. There is a truly Goan fast food outlet nearby too for non-vegetarians.
The bus stop is just 5 minutes’ walk. However, if you see a bus when you are not at the bus stop location you can put up your hand and the buses normally will stop for you. All buses end up at the Panjim Main Bus Stand from where you will get buses to all parts of Goa or Rickshaws or taxis. You will also get numerous car and two wheeler hire at the Petrol Pump adjacent to the bus-stop. We however provide a list of recommended vehicle hire outlets to our confirmed guest. This list is based on previous guest recommendations and has no financial profit to us.
Guest almost always ask “how far is the beaches of the North – Baga, Calangute, Candolim” the answer is about 30 minutes’ drive not withstanding unusual traffic. We are not in the heart of the nightlife, but mostly all guest staying with us prefer to come to a peaceful home after a hectic night life. In many cases after experiencing a couple of trips to the beaches and nightlife many guest just prefer to relax at home with the best ever view and serenity you can get in Goa. The Casinos and boat cruises are just 10 minutes away in Panjim City and this has been one of the main attractions of most guest.

it was an amazing and beautiful place , my family members enjoyed the stay at casinha . everything was neat and clean and up to date . every smallest thing was taken care of. best hospitality .. and above all Capt , Mr .leo lobo , a thorough gentleman, left us with all the beautiful memories of casinha . hoping to get there soon ..... AGAIN!!!! Dr siddharth

Dr.SiddharthFebruary 2015

Capt. Leo's property is one that i cannot forget as the host was welcoming, and had all the amenities one can ask for and provide well balanced atmosphere for a party of 10 where we stayed 4 nights/5 days. (minus FIRST AID KIT, which was out dated and really dirty which i hope can be replaced with new standards). If you are going to eat at home in the main kitchen (downstairs), then clean up afterwards or else ants will be crawling all over. Yes, there are two kitchens. The listing described was well informed, yet was somewhat hard to follow if you are new to the city/India and need to get by on your own as the neighborhood was perfectly centered to all attractions as to our needs. but not easy to follow the roads as signs are not posted clearly, or if there were any, i was not able notice. Overall i recommend Capt Leos' property to anyone that enjoys historic wooden cozy atmosphere who wants to lay back with a big family and wants to stay united. On another note, this place is perfect for 4 couples with 1 or two kids in each room that can provide all your needs for a family or family reunion vacation. One draw back was the AC located above Kitchen did not work as it was really hot during my stay during last week of April. A big thanks to Kalpna who has helped a lot during our stay with making good goan fish curry, fried fish (bring your own masala), chicken and cleaning aspect as she was readily available.

SiddharthMay 2016

we enjoyed our stay in casino raibandar. Thanks to captain Leo for his help. And thanks to kalpana also. She prepared awesome dinner for us. we will surely come back to stay here and strongly recommend this place.

GadamNovember 2016

The Wooden Chalet was exactly what me and my group was looking for to celebrate a perfect weekend at Goa! Everything at the Chalet is very well maintained and captain has ensured all daily needs are available in-house. :) Thankyou for the awesome stay captain! Will see you soon! :-)

SanketFebruary 2016

Absolutely beautiful experience. Makes us want to go back again for a longer duration sometime very soon.

SayanMarch 2016

This would be my first trip to goa when I didn't go to a beach, all because you didn't want to leave the wooden chalet. The whole house, the design, the location of the house, boats sailing across on the river,the awesome food prepared by kalpana (the house cook). I i would recommend the house to anyone and everyone.

Robin VargheseNovember 2016

Wooden Chalet on the river, Panjim was an absolutely wonderful experience. Fantastic location ( a bit tricky parking though), wonderful communication about directions from Capt. Leo, amazing property and ever smiling help in Kalpana, the housekeeper made our holidays perfect. The top deck is wonderful to spend family times together. Lovely kitchen, living and dining spaces on the ground floor and beautiful wooden stair which is very comfortable. All the spaces in house offer an amazing view. The home has a great addition in terms of washing machine and dryer and is well-stocked with extra supplies that can be purchased if required. Do go for a ferry ride ( ferry ride is free) to the opposite Chorao Island for a serene experience to the Salim Ali bird sanctuary. All in all, a memorable stay where we would want to return someday. Thank you, Capt. Leo.

TEJALNovember 2016

Capt. Leo Lobo was an amazing host, he really made us all feel very comfortable at his house, it was really kind of him to show his entire property and explain each and everything with great minute details. Really appreciate the fact that he waited for us in his house got the entire group settled and even helped us by dropping us in the nearby market. An Amazing human being, really admire your love for restoring the cultural heritage and learn a great deal from you. Hope you have a great time ahead with all your travels and will see you soon @ Casinha Raibandar its a magnificent property !!! Cheers Capt. Lobo :)

HiroyukiJanuary 2016

My wife and I decided to take a vacation for a week, since we both had new obs and wanted to celebrate it far away from home. I initially thought of going to Maldives, but suddenly changed my mind when I spotted Serene Homestay on airbnb. The moment I saw the pictures and the reviews, I knew this is it! Although the place looked amazing, I wondered if it's going to be hot in April. But Serene Waters doesn't let any harsh sunlight in - there's so much shade and greenery. The pool is also under the trees, so you won't get sun burnt even if you spend long hours in the day in the pool. Hospitality - Leo and his wife are excellent hosts. They took care of every little detail, to make my stay comfortable. The food was fantastic - and I can't get enough of the crabs and fish curry with rice. Accessibility - This place is very close to Panjim, and rightly situated to let you explore North Goa one day, and South Goa another. Fun - Once you're here, the clock slows down!! We have very busy lives in Bangalore, where every minute in the day counts, and the traffic here eats about 3 hours a day. Enter Serene Waters, and everything is so relaxed and slow. You just don't care about the rest of the world and want to just laze around the waterside with a chilled beer. Pricing - This is the best deal one can find in Goa. In fact, I feel Leo needs to hike the prices for the rooms. And the drinks are just 5 or 10 rupees more than the market price. So don't bother buying from outside and having it warm! Cons - On 2 different days this happened - we got up, had tea, hot bath, breakfast, got dressed, mark the map for all the places in Goa we wanted to see and BAM!!..... we got into the pool and let all the plans go up in the air. It is extremely likely that this will happen to you too... but you won't regret it! ;)

DeepakMay 2016

I'm blogging my trip. Leo and Jacqueline's place figures well. So if you really want to read up on it, from a different perspective, (URL HIDDEN) I enjoyed my stay with Leo and his crew. Something I'm finding interesting about India is that in both commercial hotels as well as homestays, there are lots of light switches, some of which sometimes don't seem to do anything.

AndrewFebruary 2016

We were quite surprised by the place. Approaching from the street side you won't believe how peaceful and quiet this place is. The view into the mangrove is magnificent. Great place to cool down from warm weather and hectic life In Old Goa and Panjim. Leo and his wife are great hosts and dogs and ducks are great entertaining. Leo helped us out big time with extra services. He made it possible to send a package within India. Great service!

TomDecember 2015

I feel lucky that I landed at Serene Waters. Leo and his family have created a backwater oasis that really made my trip to Goa. Very relaxing and off the beaten path but convenient for trips to Panjim or Old Goa. Leo is the perfect host: a native Goan who can inform you , arrange something for you–or just let you sleep. As a fellow Airbnb host (NYC), I tip my hat at how much he cares about guests having a good time. I stayed four days but wished I could've stayed longer. I'll certainly try to come back and I can definitely recommend Serene Waters.

J.G.December 2015

Leo and Jaqueline were most welcoming and prepared lunch especially for me even though I landed up late afternoon. The place was a little ways away from the bustle of the city yet convenient enough not to incur the crazy Goa taxi fares! The place is as serene as the name suggests.

TrevorJuly 2016

This place is heaven .. Serenity meets festivity .. Leo and his family are the best hosts one can ever interact .. Rooms are clean and surroundings are just picturesque .. Goa is not just about beaches .. Goa is a mindset of happiness and Leo proves it in all senses .. Will highly recommend this place and will always bless Leo and his wondeful family

JAYESHJuly 2016

The best thing about Serene Waters is the welcome that Leo gave me. His place is as described. Being my first visit to Goa, I came for dentistry and Leo spent much time finding the most suitable including and affordable world class expert on implants. Jacqueline cooks good homely food and whether its help with banking, flights or whatever, it seems nothing is too much trouble. It seems very secure, being gated from the outside and a full watchman. Some problems with the internet, but I am sure they will be soon resolved. Many thanks, Leo, I will be back soon.

We stayed at Loretta's place for 2 weeks, we rented a room. The flat is very cozy and clean with all convenient facilities. The location of the place is a bit far from the beaches but peaceful atmosphere and quietness away form main roads make up for that and if you have a bike it's not a problem at all. The view from the windows is amazing. The location of the flat is in continent reach of all major highways which allows you to discover remote places of Goa easily. Loretta is a very friendly lady and a great host. She helped us with all problems that we had, gave us lots of useful recommendation of good places to eat out. Overall she was very helpful and we're really grateful for that. We highly recommend Loretta's place for everyone

AndreyMay 2016

Great location; a lovely balance between green, forested expanses and urban Goan life. The place has been done up with a lot of love. Loretta goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable - it's like staying at mom's - house rules included!

JoelAugust 2016

This was by far the best stay I've had during a vacation. I think the place looks even better in person than in pictures. Loretta made us feel very welcome right from the time of our arrival. She has been a wonderful host throughout the vacation. All the amenities listed were provided. The place was extremely clean. The bathroom is very well maintained. The pool is beautiful. You can catch a sight of misty hills early in the morning. The balcony has a really good view I would definitely recommend this place for a great stay. Its totally worth it!

RohitAugust 2016

Lorreta is a great host. She made us feel welcomed and made sure we had everything we needed at our disposal. She helped us with recommendations for dineouts and party places and those were spot on. The room is located in a quiet and peaceful location, yet not too far from the mainstream Goan places. All in all we had a nice time and will recommend it for any future guests.

JagmeetNovember 2016

I landed in Goa at 11:30 in the night and the bus ppl Lost my luggage. Loretta and her son helped me alot to get it back. Also the place is beautiful and very clean. Loretta makes it a point to keep it pick and span. The place is cebtrally located and accessible to all the beaches. The view from the room is vety beautiful especially in the morning. Loretta is an amazing host and we totally enjoyed our stay with her. She made sure that we have all the amenities and even treated us with a lot of warmth. Recommended for a pleasent stay in Goa

A beautifully and caringly maintained flat in the heart of goa. The morning views from the bedroom balcony is as if you are in the forest,but you are in the heart of the city.

Patrick's mother made arrangements to meet us and bring us to the property, hand over the keys and show us around. She was very welcoming.

SarahJanuary 2015

The house was breathtaking from the moment we arrived. it is a spectacular place to spend some time. The island is a little far from many of the beaches but with Old goa just a ferry ride away and great food just next at a great bar/restaurant spending time on the island was great. The hosts were lovely and helping and only ever a phone call away. If you stay in Goa I would say try this place out you will not be dissappointed.

It was an awesome stay, everything was there. It is near to Panjm. The host Sanjeev is an exceptional person, who was waiting and calling us even before we reached goa. House is actually the same as it is in the photos. Excellent for families and couples. Felt like we are at home. Timings are flexible but intimate him while booking. Would recommend for all. Visit to feel the same.

KishoreNovember 2016

The apartment was beautiful and the host Sanjeev was more than just helpful. The apartment was very clean and maintained excellently. Sanjeev had gone through the trouble of making sure all our needs in the apartment was taken care of. Our flight landed late in the nite and the host even made sure to keep food and juice in the house when we arrived. Overall it was a great experience and I would strongly recommend anyone to stay here on their vacation to goa. My next trip will surely include a stay in this apartment. The apartment also has a beautiful view.

Nishant January 2015

Sanjeev's apartment is perfect if you want to stay away from the crowds and noise of Panjim, however it is just 10-15 minutes away from the city, so super convenient if one has their own means of transport (bikes or cars are easily rented in Goa) The apartment itself is spacious, bright and airy, with a wonderful view of Panjim in the distance. Sanjeev was also super helpful and flexible when it came to check-in and check-out times, but it is important that one informs him in advance so that he can make the necessary arrangements. The house was clean and neat and with all the basic amenities provided for (except WiFi which we didn't miss much). We thought it was good value for money. Overall I would highly recommend this place if you want to stay in the vicinity of Panjim.

ApoorvFebruary 2016

We stayed in this apartment for four days, It's a very good apartment and the place is absolutely as described in pictures. The host Sanjeev was very helpful guiding us to his place and was in touch with us until we reached his place. Appreciate the facilities like utensils,snacks,toiletries provided in the place and cleanliness is what we found very good here. Highly recommend for travellers in groups and families as we experienced in this price range.

Whenever we had an enquiry or whenever we needed something Sanjeev responded immediately and arranged everything we needed. House is just like the way it is in the pictures. Infact, I liked it more when I reached the place. Everything was kept properly for us; towels, new soaps in both the bathroom, shampoo sachets for everyone, paper plates, paper cups etc. Kitchen was fully equipped and with an RO water purifier. There are no restaurants around the location but it’s 10-15 mins drive from Panaji city. There are super markets at 5 mins walk. I’d strongly recommend the place if you are looking to stay closer to Panaji.

Amazing Place. Very Clean with all basic amenities! And close vicinity from panjim makes it more accessible. Very good view from the hall and a spacious Flat. And add to all good things...a wonderful Host!! Thanks Sanjeev for making our holiday memorable and relaxing.

AkankshaApril 2016

I stayed at this place last weekend with 3 of my friends and enjoyed our stay. Sanjeev is very nice guy and was there to receive us even at 12:30 at night. He made us familiar about the house and how to go around the place as well as plan our trip to Goa. The house was very clean and beautiful. And window scene was awesome where you could see the Panjim City glowing at night. Also the neighborhood was very quite and beautiful, ideal for a morning/evening walk (don't forget to wander uphill). However, Chimbel is quite on the interior and you need to well plan because it is often difficult to describe to taxi walas, locate it well on your maps and gps and don;t rely on last minute directions. The network connection is poor (you get 2G network) and that might add to your misery if you want plan something impromptu. (If you have your own mean of transportation things will be much better, but if you plan to rent a bike, you will have to go to Panjim City.) So the place is highly recommended for those who want to stay at place quite and peaceful, closer to nature, with a feel of village; (recommended to have a car) . If you are willing to ride from Chimbel to various places and avoid the city hotch potch, then this is your place. However if this is your first trip to Goa, we would recommend you to stay in North Goa, to get a feel of the typical Goa you would have heard a lot about. There are some village-feel cafe's near by, where we ate breakfast on both days (samosa, pav bhaaji, mirchi wada) and small stores as well. We took bus to Panjim and rented two bikes for two days and visited all sorts of places in North Goa over the two days.

Had a lovely stay at Sagar's penthouse in Ribandar Goa. With an amazing view and a well maintained apartment, this place is truly a value for money. The caretaker assigned was extremely friendly and ensured we had no issues. Highly recommended!

Leo and Jacquelyn are the best host couple one could find. Right from being nice and helpful through the stay, they made us feel right at home. The place is awesome too! Go for it!

AjitApril 2016

I have visited goa many times before but discovered the best place to stay just after visiting Leo's home stay. It's a mixture of the perfect location by the Mandovi river and an amazing family that welcomes you. Leo and his wife ensure you utmost comfort, cook you healthy local cuisine, arrange for your transport around goa and also give you front row access to Leo's dinner music shows at Goa's top restaurants. The place is perfect getaway for a relaxed weekend. The rooms are ultra clean and guest services are available round the clock. Leo even took the trouble of seeing us off at 2 am in the morning, before I left to the airport. Stay here if you want the perfect Goa experience and friendly helpful local Goan advice and food.

SanjanaFebruary 2016

Serene Homestay is exactly what the name states and even more. The serenity of the place will seep into your soul and you will feel an instant calm. At the same time, the hospitality extended by Leo and his family make you feel very much at home. Leo and Jacqueline are sweethearts and amazing hosts. They go the extra mile to ensure you are comfortable and well taken care of. Unlike other resorts where would bother once you are checked-in, Leo and his family will interact with you regularly and pay attention to your needs. They are very helpful and also helped book local transportation. I also went for one of Leo’s shows and was totally enthralled. The property is next to river Mandovi but cut off from the hustle bustle of North Goa. Tucked in a place called Ribandar, it is easily accessible from Panjim. I didn’t believe Leo at first but once you are here you become lazy. You can spend an entire day at the riverside, even dine by the river watching an occasional bird dive in for fresh catch or laze in the mini infinity pool facing the riverside and be quick enough to spot an otter pop his head out (yes there are otters in the river). I guarantee this place just makes you forget all the hustling party spots of Goa and we barely wanted to leave the property. And if I haven’t bragged enough about the hospitality extended by Leo and his family or the beauty and tranquility of the place, I’ve yet to speak about the local cuisine served at Serene Homestay. It was lip smacking and Jacqueline I can’t compliment you enough on the food you cook. We didn’t want to eat out, we loved the food so much. The breakfast spread was also good. Thank you so much Leo, we will be back soon.

ReemaApril 2016

Its was nice staying at leo's and jacqueline's place. They were very helpful and made us discover the city and made arranged for us to go around in goa. The food was just excellent. We will definetly recommand this plac

FrancineNovember 2016

A perfect homestay for rest and relaxation. As picturesque as the photos suggest if not more. Leo even picked me up from Panjim when i arrived and is more than happy to arrange local transportation whenever required. All in all a very pleasant experience indeed.

DipaApril 2016

The place is idyllic and lives to its name. Serenity fills us as soon as we enter the riverfront. The hosts Leo and Jacqueline are warm and hospitable and always there to welcome you with a smile. Leo goes out of his way to ensure your stay is comfortable, rejuvenating and fun-filled. He presented us with multiple options tailored to our needs to make our vacation memorable. At the end of the day, We found it was advisable to follow his itinerary suggestions His band is amazing and those who love western music should make it a part of their itinerary. The food from Jacqueline's kitchen is finger-licking delicious. Amazing seafood and non-veg treats. We enjoyed just whiling away the day with a cocktail in hand and treating ourselves to the unending supply of nibbles to go with it. The view from the rooms is good, even though we hardly were in it. The outdoors and the riverfront, the lawn chairs and hammocks beckons us always. That is a beautiful bonding place. Leo arranged our travel requirements within Goa and we were happy with it. Even if the weather is hot outside, serene waters is cool and breezy always. A must stay place for everyone at least once, I would say

PascalinMay 2016

Me and my hubby planned a trip to Goa for 5 days. We always had an idea to stay away from the usual tourist accomodations so, we choose this place which is also near to city. As the name says yes, this place is very serene. Leo and his family made our stay amazing and always memorable. About the place: This place is only 2-3kms from Panaji and located on the backwaters of the mandovi river. We personally liked this place very much because it is little away from the usual tourist accomodations which makes you to get relaxed in a peaceful place. We booked it for 5 days and infact we felt like we lived in Goa. Host's hospitality : From the day we booked it Leo was always in touch with us and helped us in planning our trip. He assisted in getting a bike on rent (it's great to explore goa on bike) and clearly guided us to his place. The accomodation given was perfect for us. The room was cleanly maintained and was ready for us before our arrival. This place has ample space for car and bike parking. Leo was helpful in planning our daily activities in Goa. If you need any info Leo or his wife will provide it. And yes when we went to club he was in touch with us till we were back home. It was Deepavali time we visited here and being in this place we got a chance to see the big and variety of effigies of narakasura on the day before deepavali. In these 5 days for one day Leo offered us a beach side accomodation which he had booked for his friends and they were not able to make it out. Sad, we responded late and it was given to other lucky guests. Breakfast & Food : Everyday 8 AM breakfast was ready. The dining place is the one which I liked most. It'slike having the breakfast in the balcony in the morning enjoying the natural beauty of the backwaters, And yes the breakfast was also good. It was a shame for us for not being here for lunch and dinner because, majority of the time we were outside. We used to chillout here late in the evening having drinks around the pool area. Any time snacks or beer is always available one can get here only and also if you bring your own drinks there is refrigerator for storing it. We really enjoyed staying in this place and will recommend others if you are looking for a relaxing vacation.

manasaNovember 2016

I had a very memorable time at serene . Leo and Jacqueline made sure that I had a very relaxed vacation at their place . I was indoors most time as I was on a relaxed vacation . Leo had a amazing property and what a view it's worth sitting and staring at for hours . The place is cleaned and very well maintained by ibrahamein and vikash . The breakfast served everyday was amazing and leo and I have had long conversation while at it. Leo also suggested the right places for me to hangout . They were the perfect hosts when my wife joined me on the last day and she has insisted to come back and stay to specially listen to Leo when he performs . Thanks Leo and Jacqueline for all the memories the 5 nights I spent I enjoyed it. I would recommend everyone to stay with Leo when the want to experience the old world charm of Goa

Sandeep and Palka have a great well maintained place in Ribandar. Very well decorated property - it felt like we were staying at a 5 star resort. Our stay at this villa was very comfortable thanks to the (EMAIL HIDDEN)plex has a very nice swimming pool which makes it fun for kids. Close Proximity to Panaji is a pig plus. If you want to stay close to Panaji, look no further!!

AshishApril 2016

The please was beautiful and we all enjoyed. Especially Pankaj the caretaker of the house was an amazing person and he was like our family member even though we stayed only for 3 nights. I'd love to visit this place soon.

SunilOctober 2016

Palka's villa in Ribandar is absolutely gorgeous. The photographs are very accurate and view of the Mandovi river is breathtaking. Caretaker Pankaj is very sweet and always willing to help. Unfortunately when i was there with my family, he was very sick so some of the amenities were not in place but once we communicated it to him, he did the best he could. Overall, great experience - felt like home.

alakananda November 2016

Wow! Where to start here. It happens pretty rarely that an experience surpasses your expectations. But the stay at Ribander is definitely up there. From the amazing interiors, to the spacious rooms, it ticked all the boxes and more. Sincere appreciation also goes to Pankaj, the caretaker who took care of us in the best of manners. Regarding the description, words can't express how magnificent this property is. Actually the images don't tell half the story of the amazing place. The pictures of pool are missing & trust me keep one day to sit calmly in the pool to have a great view of sunset.

RiteshMarch 2016

One of the best stays i've stayed in AIRBNB until now. Its present just outside Panaji and has one amazing view of the city and lake. The building is also amazing and very calm. Pankaj was very friendly and was very helpful with all our requests. Just stayed there for few hours and will make sure I go again and spend some time in this beautiful place. Thanks for the listing this place.

SumanthSeptember 2016

Hi Palka thanks for being a good host. We really appreciate and want to thank Mr. Pankaj for all his hospitality, having such a caretaker is a big value add.

THE SPACE
LAZY COTTAGE ON THE RIVER BANKS is one of the two true Wooden Chalets situated on the banks of Goa's largest River "Mandovi". (Please check out WOODEN CHALET ON THE RIVER BANKS for information on the other property). The house has its own wooden jetty and has docking facilities for a reasonably sized yacht.
Located 1 Km from the ancient city of Old Goa and 8 km to the City of Panjim. Old Goa was the first Capital City of Goa which was first shifted to Panjim due to the Plague centuries ago. The Old Goa Church was the first resting place of the body of St. Francis Xavier when brought to Goa from the Far East where it is preserved till today.
The house is on the river level with unlimited private parking in front. The main road is on a higher level about 4 metres above the river level. A building on the higher road level which stands between the road and the house isolates any traffic sound from the road which makes it a quiet and peaceful place to stay. The bus stand is situated on the road above.
LAZY RIVER COTTAGE is located, just 15 minutes by road to the Panjim Central Bus Terminus which terminus is equidistant from North and South Goa.
There is a Soft drink and Liquor store in the adjacent building, and a general store just 5 minutes’ walk from the house.
There is a new AC Restaurant “GAZALLI” just a minute away next-door and guests have reported that they take orders and deliver food to the house. Also another famous Seafood restaurant 5 minutes’ walk away “STAR BAR AND RESTAURANT” which though simple in its ambience is famous for seafood and other dishes.
CAFÉ DEVTA: Walk up to the road and turn left towards Old Goa. You will find a small quaint house / restaurant on the right side of the road about 100 mtrs. where you can get local Baji and good light food good for breakfast.
Car and bike rental facilities are also available for which information will be provided on confirmation of booking.
The Chalet is fully A.C. and is fitted with all amenities one can think of and what you would normally like to have in the best equipped home. Some of the amenities is a fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, microwave oven, U.V. filter, clothes washing machine and dryer etc. etc. Besides, the house is fitted with a hydro pneumatic water pressure system giving full pressure on all the water outlets and showers.
There is an in-house NON-PROFIT convenience store where we provide mostly everything you would need from cooking ingredients to variety of beverages, milk etc. etc. It is really convenient and thus the name “CONVENIENCE STORE”. All items at cost price plus 5% to cover losses etc.
The house Lady will come every morning to clean up. Besides we have all equipment like dishwasher etc.
The house is differently abled friendly and divided into two levels having total of four bedrooms.

•The fourth bedroom has four single or two double beds which can sleep 4 persons. The rest of the bedrooms have one double bed.
•Besides there are two full size bed cum reclining deck beds to sleep additional guest.
The house is designed so that the view of the river, and adjacent islands are prominent from every location in the house. The lower bedrooms open onto a paved patio which is on the river edge and has its own wooden jetty projecting into the river. It has docking facilities for a reasonably sized yacht.
Barbecue equipment including coal at cost price plus 5% is provided so you can enjoy a barbecue on the stone patio. There is good fishing scope however ardent fisherman should bring their own equipment.

In the hall there is a full-fledged computer station. There is free unlimited Broad Band Internet and Wi-Fi. We have BSNL (Govt.) connection and we pay monthly for unlimited broadband. Generally, the Broadband has been very satisfactory but we however state that the connection is dependent on BSNL and we have no control on the quality or any breakdowns. We can assure you that we will make all efforts to ensure that in case of breakdown we pursue BSNL to attended earliest.
A music station attached to the computer system allows you to play music from the internet, pen drive or memory card...

There are 5 cottages on either side of the house and the locality is quiet and peaceful.
The bus stop is just above the house. However, if you see a bus when you are not at the bus stop location you can put up your hand and the buses normally will stop for you. All buses end up at the Panjim Main Bus Stand from where you will get buses to all parts of Goa or Rickshaws or taxis. You will also get numerous car and two wheeler hire at the Petrol Pump adjacent to the bus-stop. We however provide a list of recommended vehicle hire outlets to our confirmed guest. This list is based on previous guest recommendations and has no financial profit to us.
Guest almost always ask “how far is the beaches of the North – Baga, Calangute, Candolim” the answer is about 30 to 40 minutes’ drive not withstanding unusual traffic. We are not in the heart of the nightlife, but mostly all guest staying with us prefer to come to a peaceful home after a hectic night life. In many cases after experiencing a couple of trips to the beachs and nightlife many guest just prefer to relax at home with the best ever view and serenity you can get in Goa. The Casinos and boat cruises are just 15 minutes away in Panjim City and this has been one of the main attractions of most guest.

Very comfortable

VikramJuly 2016

We stayed at this property for 3 nights and this simply was the best decision we made. Everything as visible from the pictures is serene. The view of the Mandovi river from the deck was breathtaking and we used to be there as soon as we used to wake up. Every little thing that you will need during the stay is available there including a fully loaded refrigerator. We had few friends and our 1 year old with us and were there to celebrate her 1st birthday. It is the best place to stay. 5 stars for an amazing and memorable stay. And lastly, I would like to thank Capt. Lobo since he was always available on call and was really happy to help.

PrernaNovember 2016

We were 9 people from our office and we were looking for a place that was accessible, easy on the pocket and fun for everyone. The Lazy River Cottage was just that, it was perfect. It is conveniently located on the NH4 right next to St. Peter's Church in a old Goa and Karmali railway station is a pleasant 10 min drive. The view from the house is calm and relaxing. Capt. Lobo had taken all the care to stock essentials. If you're wanting a pleasant stay in Goa, away from the commercial hustle bustle of the beaches, this is an ideal location. Highly recommended by me and my colleagues at Social Squared!

AmeyNovember 2014

If asked to describe the place in one word..'Amazing'. You step into Lobo's quaint retreat and you are transmitted into a heavenly abode. Quitly nestled along the Mondovi river with its own private ramp on the river, this place reminds you of those nice postcard pictures we take as souvenirs. Cottage is built with love and every tenant falls for it.Lots of wood with 4 bedrooms for your entire family/friends.Go as a group.enjoy the sunrise, do a BBQ in the evening.Capt Lobo has taken care of every single detail making sure that the house is equipped with anything and everything the customers would need. You can run a full house.Located just 7-8 Kms from Panjim and also close to old goa, its like the best of both worlds.and last but not the least..the ever ready to help Captain lobo, an amazing gentleman runs the house like a captain taking care of all the sailors on his ship.

VinodMarch 2015

Overall it was a wonderful experience. The way the place has been maintained was amazing. We were more eager to comeback to Lazzy cottage at river bank rather than spending time on beaches because the atmosphere their is so soothing and relaxing. Capt. Leo is a great host as well as a wonderful Person. You can get everything their what you need to enjoy your vacation, you don't need to hunt anything. Rooms were clean and hygienic. Kitchen was equipped with all the things you need. Dinning area is spacious enough. Its a real home away from home.

BharatJanuary 2016

The Lazy River Cottage was the perfect location for a family reunion. The bedroom with attached bath on the main floor was ideal for the seniors and three bedrooms one with an attached bathroom and one common one on the top floor was very convenient. The verandah the steps out from the top bedrooms had the perfect view. The rooms were large enough for the constant flow of family and friends. The bedrooms and the sitting cum dinning were equipped with air-conditioning which made the heat bearable. Everyone who visited was in awe of this jewel . Its ideal location gave you the Goa experience. It brought back a rush of memories from the long verandah on the main floor which faces the Mandovi river, to the sight of the barges sailing by, the view of Divar island lush and green to herons and flying fish. The sunsets from the jetty were fabulous and was the perfect end to every evening. Capt. Leo Lobo was very communicative and was very attentive to our needs before and during our stay. That made our stay very comfortable. The house came fully stocked from milk,eggs,masalas and even soft drinks and beer all at actual cost, which made it easy for a first few day as we did not need to worry about groceries or provisions after we had checked in. The provisions were full stocked in cupboards in the kitchen. Linen was changed and a maid came into clean every morning. Capt Leo lobo runs a tight ship and is a very gracious host. There was a washing machine and dryer which was very convenient for us who were travelling light. I would recommend his home to everyone who is looking for the flavour of Goa.

AnjaliMarch 2015

It was just fantastic to stay at Lazy River Cottage. The place looked even better than the pictures and all amenities as mentioned on the list were present. The kitchen was so well stocked that we didn't have to venture too far out for anything, from local King's beer (which is so hard to find in local market) to all the condiments, snacks, bread and staples. We had complete privacy without any sort of interference from anyone. Cottage is located in a small quiet neighbourhood and just a short bus ride away from Panjim city. Capt. Lobo was always available over phone and gladly directed us to some really nice local restaurants. I am for sure going back to stay at one his other homes on my future trip to Goa.
